    MIA

    The issue for me with that was that it looeked deliberate to go for the near post but nobody else read it.

    Can anyone explain to me our strategy at corners? I am at a loss.

    Players look heavy legged

    Not a lot of movement anywhere on the pitch and seem to be second to every ball

    Would like to see Yarmolenko on for Antonio at half time

    i think it follows the formula of.

    -Is Andy Carroll on the pitch ?

    -=Yes? don't cross the ball, play to feet.

    -=No? Float crosses, into the back post.

    -Is someone in the box ?

    -=Yes? Play it back to the full back.

    -=No? Put the ball into the box.

    -Is someone at the front or back post ?

    -=Yes? Cross the ball in front of the keeper.

    -=No? Cross the ball to the front or back post.

    Hasn't this been the case for the best part of two seasons. Just seem to really struggle to find any momentum at all.
  • stevesteve
    oh by the way who is the home team here
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    The only real positive I think is that Diop & Balbuena have looked more comfortable and have made some good tackles...although their passing has been sloppy

    Fixed it for ya!

    Thought the first half was very uninspiring and laboured. Half the time the players and manager would not look out of place with an big "?" above their heads

    another low intensity - too many touches - no ideas type game
  • welovethehammerswelovethehammers
    We need to go back to the basics. Pass to feet, give the passer an option by finding space. We don't need to do anything fancy but a period where we dictate the play and dominate on the ball will do us the world of good (basically what we did well against Wimbledon).

    Something Wilshire was suppose to be good at, he looks useless.
  • stevesteve
    Please Wolves can we have our ball back as we would like to have a kick to

    I said it last week and I'll say it again. So far, I don't see what Wilshere brings that Noble doesn't.

    It's so wearisome season after season ad nauseum. ;tumbleweed

    Yarmolenko on for Snodgrass I think

    Personally think Antonio should've made way but Snodgrass didn't exactly do much either
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    i'm not sure "team is still gelling" will cut it considering Wolves have half a brand new team, and are the away team !
  • Giant_HammerGiant_Hammer
    Yes, I'm sitting here hoping we can get a point at home to a newly promoted side having spent close to a hundred million pounds. That can't be right can it? Can it?

    Great chance for balbuena at a corner but he messes up a free header
  • welovethehammerswelovethehammers
    Where's the teamwork? We are playing as a bunch of individuals
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Started well

    Yarmolenko has sparked us alive

    Not quite falling in the box though
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Great save from Patricio from a looping header from Antonio...

  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Wilshire off for Obiang...

    Bit defensive that....feel we need to win today

    I don't see what Wilshere offers. From a defensive point of view he always seems out of position, frequently out muscled and behind the pace of the game. He's playing in a deeper role and therefore isn't offering anything offensively. His passing which is meant to be his main asset hasn't been anything special either. Imo someone like Rice could do a better job defensively while offering good ball retention skills.

    Now Obiang has come on when personally I think Rice would've been better (in fact imo should've started). Seems Pellegrini isn't so keen on him.

    On another note we actually seem to be trying too hard to make something happen and find that magic killer pass. Imo if we relaxed and took time with our passing we'd be far more effective.
  • horshamhammerhorshamhammer
    There's very little movement off the ball. Passes are going into players in static positions.

    Egghhh

    Why didn't Antonio hit it first time

    Almost got caught out on the counter
  • alderzalderz
    Fabianski absolutely saved us there
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Great save

    Fredericks is having an awful game
  • ianbishoplegendianbishoplegend
    Rice only takes 1-2 touches. Pellegrini likes 3-4
